Yukime (excerpt)
A gentleman knows both teaching and being taught, and then he can be a teacher. Therefore, the teaching of a gentleman is figurative.
Translation:
A person who is determined to engage in education can be competent as a teacher if he understands both the successful experience of education and the reasons for its failure. Therefore, the teacher's teaching is to make students understand the truth.
